Last year, over 200 Chinese apps were banned whichincluded some of the most popularly used applications such as Shein, PUBGMobile, Wehat, Camscanner and TikTok. Many apps are now substituted with theIndian versions of these apps and were happily accepted by the Indianpopulation.
Previously, one of the most loved applications, PUBGMobile India which was a Chinese app and was replaced with a new identity asKrafton’s Battleground Mobile India. And as a matter of fact, the Indianversion of this game managed to pull up to 38 million users to their game injust 2 weeks of the release.
On the occasion of the 5th anniversary ofAmazon Prime in India company announced a two-day sale with which thecompany also wished to empower more and more sellers with keeping an eye on consumer satisfaction. So it is expected that the re-launch of shein on theplatform of Shein will be also scheduled on this day itself.
Although, the makers of Shein have not released any officialstatement on the same, but on the flip sideAmazon has created a dedicated page for the Primelaunch of the Chinese app. The website remains the same and still displays, “Dearcustomers, to make timely adjustments, we decided to temporarily pause neworders from India starting from 11th of July, until we can reach a newagreement with the government and the ban order is lifted.”Till now it is controversial as to why the makers of Shein haven’t made any official statement.
The decision was taken by the Ministry of informationTechnology because these 250 Chinese apps were engaged in activities that areprejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, security of the state,defense of India, and public order under the Section 69A of the InformationTechnology Act.
Even the US government took an action to ban TikTok andWeChat after weeks after the Indian government banned them to secure theirnational security and stating they are prejudicial to the integrity, security, and sovereignty of the nation.
